One of the top movies in the 1990s

Buscemi only had a small part, a single scene in the movie as the Buddy Holly costumed waiter. Two years later, he played his iconic role in Fargo, but his long list of notable credits are impressive. He appeared in The Big Lebowski, Mr. Deeds, and Big Fish.

The actor also had TV roles in The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire.

The Wolf is initially the most memorable characters in the film. Keitel’s role was inspired by his other role as Victor “The Cleaner” in Point of No Return. From there on, he would go on to appear in two more of Tarantino’s movies.

Quentin Tarantino As Jimmy

He’s appeared in Jackie Brown as an uncredited voice. After ditching the role of Lance for Jimmy, the director initially offered it to Steve Buscemi.

But, as we all know, Tarantino went on to direct more great movies and created such iconic pieces such as Inglorious Basterds, The Hateful Eight, and Django Unchained.
